The QSC R2-5 Weight Clutch Kit for the Polaris RZR S 1000 and Polaris General is a comprehensive drivetrain tuning solution designed to fully extract the performance potential of these high power-to-weight ratio machines. While these models are naturally agile, factory clutching often sacrifices aggressive acceleration for generic belt longevity and conservative shift curves.
QSC addresses this by providing a complete system that optimizes both the primary and secondary clutch characteristics, resulting in a machine that feels significantly more responsive at every throttle position.
Performance & Driveability Upgrades
The R2-5 kit focuses on the critical balance between "hit" and "habitability."
-
Aggressive Acceleration: The custom-profile weights are engineered to keep the engine in the meat of its powerband, delivering a massive improvement in 0-60 MPH times.
-
Part-Throttle Belt Grip: By increasing the mechanical leverage on the belt during mid-range operation, this kit prevents the "slipping" sensation often felt when rolling back onto the throttle after a corner.
-
Refined Engagement: Despite the performance gains, the R2-5 weights provide a "nice and easy" engagement. This ensures smooth take-offs without the jerky or "notchy" feeling common in some race-oriented kits.
-
Optimized Power-to-Weight: Specifically calibrated for the 1000cc platform to ensure the clutches shift in harmony with the vehicle's lightweight chassis.
Complete Kit Components
Unlike basic "weight-only" kits, the R2-5 is a total recalibration package. Each kit is pre-tuned for your specific tire size and riding style and includes:
| Component | Function |
| 3 QSC R2-5 Weights | Primary shift calibration and belt squeeze |
| Primary Spring | Controls engagement RPM and initial shift rate |
| Secondary Spring | Manages back-shift and belt tension under load |
| Adjustment Shims | Allows for fine-tuning of the engagement "feel" |
| Fastener/Hardware Kit | Provides the ability to adjust weight if you change tires or add power later |
Why Choose the R2-5 System?
-
Turn-Key Calibration: QSC takes the guesswork out of clutching by shipping the kit pre-configured for your application, meaning you can spend more time riding and less time testing.
-
Improved Driveability: Ideal for technical trail riders who need smooth low-speed control, but also want the "snap" required for aggressive sport riding.
-
Versatility: The included hardware kit ensures that if you eventually upgrade to larger tires or add an exhaust and tune, you can re-adjust your weights to match the new power curve.
Pro Tip: For Polaris General owners who use their machines for both work and play, the R2-5 kit is a game-changer. It provides the smooth engagement needed for backing up a trailer or navigating tight garage spaces, while still delivering the "sport" performance the 1000cc engine is famous for.
Technical Note: When installing the secondary spring, it is highly recommended to inspect your secondary rollers for flat spots. A fresh set of QSC or high-quality aftermarket rollers paired with this spring will ensure the smoothest possible back-shift when descending hills or coming off the throttle.
